Happy Days! - By: T. Evans, 18 Oct 2005
The 1980's - what fun we had!
This excellent film is as funny now as it was then! It's worth a few pounds & an evening in for anybody!
'Like a good ice cream' - By: Mr. O. N. Bath, 15 Feb 2005
Lovely film, a real pleasure. Bill Paterson is the star of the show but Scottish stars like Rikki Fulton add to it. Some of the acting is a little dubious for example Clare Grogan is very wooden at times.
I would certainly recommend the film especiallly to homesick Glaswegians who will recognise many of the sights.
Low Key Gem - By: Crazy Bald Heid, 21 Jan 2005
This wonderful gem is very understated & typical of Bill Forsyth's best work (see also Gregory's Girl, That Sinking Feeling & Local Hero however do take care to avoid Gregory's Two Girls like the plague a 0 star clunker).

Dumped DJ Dickie Bird (the perenniallly excellent Bill Paterson) wants to be taken seriously & tries his hand at some investigative journalism. After seeing an attack on an ice cream van manned by Alex "Taggart" Norton & Clare Grogan being trashed he gets involved in an internecine ice cream war.

A warm, amusing script coupled with an understated Mark Knopfler Score (bits of Love Over Gold for the record) & sympathetic direction/cinematography results in a great feel good film, a star is docked as feels a little dated.
